She loves competing so much and I wanted to make something special for her and her dance big sister, especially because we have made a change in dance studios so they will not be together anymore. I decided to make them matching chipboard albums.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9bPEM2UFvjE/WYYliS1m2xI/AAAAAAAALxM/XGz-QjpasPork_KOCRnZ4z4yssGa4RZIwCLcBGAs/s1600/dreams%2Balbum%2B2017%2B4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="747" data-original-width="1600" height="186" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9bPEM2UFvjE/WYYliS1m2xI/AAAAAAAALxM/XGz-QjpasPork_KOCRnZ4z4yssGa4RZIwCLcBGAs/s400/dreams%2Balbum%2B2017%2B4.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>The above is the final cover image. &nbsp;It features the only die cut I used for the whole album, a welded font from my computer.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YaHi56Td9bI/WYYliQcz9jI/AAAAAAAALxQ/uV7Ekj9t78ECpe_HnO9BbeH_mDP9g1LVACLcBGAs/s1600/dreams%2Balbum%2B2017%2B5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="892" data-original-width="1600" height="178" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YaHi56Td9bI/WYYliQcz9jI/AAAAAAAALxQ/uV7Ekj9t78ECpe_HnO9BbeH_mDP9g1LVACLcBGAs/s320/dreams%2Balbum%2B2017%2B5.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>This is how all the pages started - with me covering them with paper. &nbsp;All the papers are from the same paper stack, Pink Paislee, Memorandum. It was really easy to measure and cut the paper to fit the chipboard and a corner rounder was the perfect fit for the rounded edges. I mixed and matched different papers.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HOrJ3FaQCB8/WYYliHCd-XI/AAAAAAAALxA/mL_b_KcDB4oW4KsZg7xgyAjWSbJuWX3iACLcBGAs/s1600/dreams%2Balbum%2B2017%2B3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="1600" height="144" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HOrJ3FaQCB8/WYYliHCd-XI/AAAAAAAALxA/mL_b_KcDB4oW4KsZg7xgyAjWSbJuWX3iACLcBGAs/s320/dreams%2Balbum%2B2017%2B3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-y94hEN4ZxQA/WYYliC8m31I/AAAAAAAALxE/Ogxf0bn6ujY1qsucY8AXOSFHb3hYbeaxwCLcBGAs/s1600/dreams%2Balbum%2B2017%2B2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="924" data-original-width="1600" height="184" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-y94hEN4ZxQA/WYYliC8m31I/AAAAAAAALxE/Ogxf0bn6ujY1qsucY8AXOSFHb3hYbeaxwCLcBGAs/s320/dreams%2Balbum%2B2017%2B2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nehGUDEG6_Q/WYYliNJIteI/AAAAAAAALxI/St5-mJ23Ke817GVOtGj8VQUMkIxcckrWwCLcBGAs/s1600/dreams%2Balbum%2B2017%2B1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="910" data-original-width="1600" height="181" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nehGUDEG6_Q/WYYliNJIteI/AAAAAAAALxI/St5-mJ23Ke817GVOtGj8VQUMkIxcckrWwCLcBGAs/s320/dreams%2Balbum%2B2017%2B1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>I also went into my stash and added washi tapes, stickers and print and cut items to complete the pages.

On our Christmas visit we were the bell ringing family at Liberty Tree Tavern. We got to go up in the balcony and they read a little proclamation and my daughter rang the bell for the restaurant to open for the day.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tY2qVfvT9So/WJd2Fb1ASFI/AAAAAAAALmA/FXvmmrYD0IchDxlSSM4hhTl5jRi-0jtmACLcB/s1600/liberty%2Btree%2B2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="375" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tY2qVfvT9So/WJd2Fb1ASFI/AAAAAAAALmA/FXvmmrYD0IchDxlSSM4hhTl5jRi-0jtmACLcB/s400/liberty%2Btree%2B2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>I put together a simple Project Life page with the photos from that meal - including the Ooey Gooey Toffee Cake (yummy).

This week <a href="http://diecuttindivas.blogspot.com/">Die Cuttin' Divas</a> is going to the dogs...or any animal you want to work with. This week's challenge is to use an animal on your project.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tb8e6-TiSEE/WIzYNwiKkQI/AAAAAAAALj4/eLmZ8MfLFf8R-I2RxUtdBYegkmpcnPnQACLcB/s1600/thank%2Bewe%2B2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="352" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tb8e6-TiSEE/WIzYNwiKkQI/AAAAAAAALj4/eLmZ8MfLFf8R-I2RxUtdBYegkmpcnPnQACLcB/s400/thank%2Bewe%2B2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>I am in the process of adding cards to my thank you collection so I selected this cute sheep to make this week. &nbsp;I found this fun patterned paper and loved the colors of it so I set to work.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SXv-S-ysJzk/WIzYNwUOLSI/AAAAAAAALj8/CPxPRyBSgyILv3Wr0aTkvfImZjbWJMd5gCLcB/s1600/thank%2Bewe%2B1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="178" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SXv-S-ysJzk/WIzYNwUOLSI/AAAAAAAALj8/CPxPRyBSgyILv3Wr0aTkvfImZjbWJMd5gCLcB/s200/thank%2Bewe%2B1.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>A simple and fun card to have on hand when needed. &nbsp;Of course my sheep needed just a little something extra to make his coat look better.

I wanted a card for her that said 70 but wasn't silly or reminding her that she is "over the hill" so I went looking for something that might work.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zTSU6XqteZI/WIzVk9UWR2I/AAAAAAAALjU/r-Z4lX6cLGk_SwTffrLuiGNXVwh5aSXagCLcB/s1600/just%2Ba%2Bstitch%2B3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="380" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zTSU6XqteZI/WIzVk9UWR2I/AAAAAAAALjU/r-Z4lX6cLGk_SwTffrLuiGNXVwh5aSXagCLcB/s400/just%2Ba%2Bstitch%2B3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>My mom has been sewing my whole life (longer). She made me so many clothes and my sister's prom dresses. &nbsp;She also is the person who makes my daughter's Halloween costumes every year no matter how specific my daughter gets about things and if no pattern exists.
